Ok. You need to overwrite what ever is on that HG install so copy/paste the following. As soon as that’s completed report back

cd

sudo systemctl stop homegenie.service

wget https://github.com/genielabs/HomeGenie/releases/download/v1.3-stable.5/homegenie_1.3-stable.5.tgz

tar xzvf homegenie_1.3-stable.5.

sudo systemctl start homegenie.service

In a little window in the upper right corner. There are 2 small updates available. It looks like they keep getting reinstalled.

The service is still coming and going, but I do have it working for a minute at a time. When working the CM19A does not work. How should that module be configured? It comes up default as a switch.

Unplug the CM19 from the Pi while HG is running and plug it back in. Now in PuTTY type

dmesg

and copy/paste the last 10 lines of the output

Now go into Configure-Settings-X10 and ensure that the USB port is set for CM19. Disable and Enable and try turning a light on and report back.

Yes the CM19A is selected and enabled. And when HG is working, I can turn on/off my configure light module, the green led turns on/off, but my real X10 lamp does not respond.

I don’t want to state the obvious here but do you have a transceiver plugged into the power line to pass the signal to your lamp.

[Moose]

Yes, a TM751.

Is there any setting that needs to be selected for the X10 RF module that sits on the HG desktop?

[petera]

Have you confirmed that your CM19/Transceiver combo work. Have you tried moving the Transceiver around to different sockets and testing on that basis. Do you have any other RF devices that may be blocking signal reception. As far as I can see at the moment your CM19 is functioning normally so the problem doesn’t lie with HG. Just confirm the above and report back.

[Moose]

I do have a wireless X10 palm controller and the transceiver works with it. But the Cm19A is new to me. So I cannot prove it works.
There is a red led on the CM19. Is it supposed to flash when asserted?

There is something odd bothering me. When I reinstalled the image, the SD card was completely wiped. But when the reinstall was complete, the lat. and long. data on the Maintenance page was still there. Thoughts?

Yes when you issue an X10 command the LED flashes momentarily.

In Settings-X10 what house codes are marked as monitored.

Just "A". That is all I have ever used, so far.
I never see the led flash.

Do you have access to any other X10 controller.

I do have a CM17A Firecracker module that I know works. It is Serial of course, but I do Have a USB adapter cable. Can it be configured?
